Concept explainers
a.
Interpretation:
Why the substitution of sulfur for oxygen is important when studying the stereochemistry of the F16BP-catalyzed hydrolysis of
Concept Introduction:
An atom that contains four different atoms/groups around is called the chiral center. Oxygen atom has three isotopes. It becomes difficult to study the stereochemical reactions when the nucleophile is water.
b.
Interpretation:
Assuming that the substitution of sulfur for oxygen does not change the mechanism of the reaction, the product of the reaction is to be determined along with its stereochemistry.
Concept Introduction:
The mechanism of F16BP is described in Fig. 25.5, text p. 1302. Assuming inversion of configuration, the product of the reaction and its stereochemistry is shown below:

- During the decarboxylation of acetoacetate, what is the nucleophile and what is the electrophile? Is the formation of a schiff base simply a preparation step or is the formation of a schiff base formed also by nucleophile/electrophile interaction?arrow_forwardFor the following reaction scheme, identify by drawing the reagents b and d and the intermediate c that are formed in the synthesis of benzoic acid.arrow_forwardso we know that fischer esterification is a type of organic reaction that involves the formation of an ester from a carboxylic acid and an alcohol in the presence of an acid catalyst. am I correct to assume that a fisher esterification mechanism would look different than the above nucleophilic addition reaction? If they are different you you present the Fisher esterification mechanism of the reaction of acetic acid with pentanol in the presence of an acid catalyst, sulfuric acid and explain the mechanismarrow_forward
- 1. To pass Chem 18.1, ELIBAP must be able to determine the melting points of three ester compounds extracted and purified from three different plants. Ester 1 Ester 2 Ester 3 :0: H. MW: 182.17 g/mol MW: 152.15 g/mol MW: 164.20 g/mol Possible Melting Points: -31 °C 64-67 °C -9 °C a. Given the molar mass and molecular structures of the esters, determine their most possible melting points. b. According to her friend who took Chem 18.1 last semester, one of the ester compounds exists as a solid above room temperature (25 °C) while the rest remain in their liquid forms. Identify the ester which is present in solid form above room temperature. Draw the structure.arrow_forwardDescribe how the addition of an isoxazolidinone to a substrate directs the stereochemistry of a reaction.arrow_forwardWhich one of the following statements about arene oxides is FALSE? O The NIH shift is what makes arene oxides carcinogenic. O Ring opening of an arene oxide can afford an addition product and/or a rearranged product. O Large polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzo[a]pyrene are especially susceptible to arene oxide formation. The NIH shift mechanism was discovered at the National Institutes of Health. O Cytochrome P450 is the powerful biological oxidant that epoxides an arene to give an arene oxide.arrow_forward
- What are the consequences to the formation of carbocation intermediates ?arrow_forwardProstaglandins are a class of eicosanoids, fatty acid derivatives with a variety of extremely potent actions on vertebrate tissues. They are responsible for producing fever and inflammation and its associated pain. Prostaglandins are derived from the 20- carbon fatty acid arachidonic acid in a reaction catalyzed by the enzyme prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase. This enzyme, a cyclooxygenase, uses oxygen to convert arachidonic acid to PGG2, the immediate precursor of many different prostaglandins. Rate of formation of PGG2 with 10 mg/ml ibuprofen (mM/min) Arachidonic acid (mM) Rate of formation of PGG2 (mM/min) 0.190 12.3 0.228 13.9 0.342 17.5 0.570 1.33 22.2 28.8 7.71 8.88 11.9 16.3 24.0 The kinetic data given in the table are for the reaction catalyzed by a mutant of prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase. Focusing here on the first two columns, determine the Vmax and Km of the enzyme. Vmax Km = mM/min mMarrow_forwardb) Optical isomers can often be formed during these reactions. For products A-H indicate how many different optical isomers you expect to form for each from these reactions (you do not have to indicate whether they are diastereomers/enantiomers). c) In the preparation of substance D by ozonolysis, the second step is necessary treatment of the reaction mixture with zinc in acetic acid. If we forgot this step, we would get substance V instead of substance D, which would probably explode when isolated.
